' Fifty-two boys are enrolled in
the Future Farmer of America
Chapter at Smyrna School. In this,
national FFA Week, Cecil GUli
kin. president, gives a brief his
tory of FFA. ft appears below.
The week of Feb. 18-25 has been
designated as National FFA week.
This week was selected because it
is the week in which George Wash
ington's birthday if celebrated.
Washington was not only the Fa
ther of our Country, but in the
minds of farmers everywhere he
is looked upon as being one of
America's greatest contributors to
agriculture.
He was one of the first farmers
in America to use a source of fer
tilizer other than what was se
cured from decaying organic mat
ter. For these reasons it is felt
that the week of February 18-25
is very appropriate for the cele
bration of National FFA 'week.
Future Farmers of America is
the national organization of farm
boys studying vocational agricul
ture in public secondary schools
under the provisions of the Nation
al Vocational Education Acts. The
National organization ha? contin
ued to develop rapidly since it was
formally organized at Kansas City,
Mo., on June 30, 1928.
Courses in vocational agriculture
under the National Vocational Ed-(
ucation Acts were first established
in the public schools in 1917. In
the early years of this program,
"agricultural clubs" were organ-1
ized by local departments of vo-,
cational agriculture.
District and State organizations
soon followed under such names
as "Junior Farmers, ' "Young Far
mers," and "Future Farmery" in
most states.
Statewide organizations were
first initiated in Virginia, Tennes
see, Arkansas, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Oklahoma, New(
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Utah, Cal
ifornia, Wyoming, and a few
others.
In North Carolina, the vocational i
agriculture students first banded
together under the name of
"Young Tar Heel Farmers" in
1926. The "North Carolina Asso
ciation of Young* Tar Heel Farm
ers" had a strong local appeal even
after its affiliation with the "Fu
ture Farmers of America" organ
ization in 1928. The name, "Young
Tar Heel Farmers," was finally
abandoned in the mid-thirties, and
the organization has since been
known as the North Carolina As
sociation of Future Farmers of
America.
The chapter association at Smyr
na is cpmpoMdraf st arM* l*cond
year boys, t hit being tho^iecond
year that there has been a depart
ment of vocational agriculture at
Smyrna High School. The officers,
besides the president are Robert
Needs, vice-president; David Gil
likin, reporter; Ray Neal Willis,
secretary; E. B. GiUikin, treasurer;
Robert Lane Rose, sentinel; and
W. J. Owens, advisor.
